"Like" query in adapter c#

Question

I have a data adapter that was created from my data set. i want to do this query:

Select Body WHERE Body Like '%@INPUTTEXT%'.

how can i do it? i want the "@INPUTTEXT" to be a parameter but because of the "' " it's a simple text...

Answer 1

I've done this before to do what you're asking:

string cmdText = "select * from table where column like @INPUTTEXT";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(cmdText,conn);
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@INPUTTEXT", string.Format("%{0}%",INPUTTEXT)));

Answer 2

WHERE BODY Like '%' + @inputtext + '%'

Answer 3

or in Linq

dc.Body.where(a+> a.body.contains("InputText")).Select(a=>a.body).ToList();
